work is done anywhere. 1t is in cool,
| quiet place, convenient to all, easy of ac-
cess, and the best attention is promised
those who get shave or hair cut there.

| ISOLATION has taken hold of the entire press
and propose to make it a representative
| Journal of The Southern tobacco trade
This is good publication of its class, and
Mr. Hartman is devoting his best energies
to the work in hand. May every success
attend his enterprise in its new home.
1t was with pleasure that we shook the
hand OF our young friend Walter j. Jones,
of Winston, this week. "W. j." has many
friends in Henderson who are always glad
to see him. We frequently have a person
to get Il year and a half (or mOre) behind
on subscription, but it is not often that one
! gets that far ahead Of us, as lie did. But
he has long been a constant reader and
warm friend of the GOLD LEAF.

an excellent publication, will be issued in
New York hereafter. The July number
will be considerably enlGl Eed and greatly
improved. Il viii cOntai: a:@'.t pages of

trated magazines.
From every quarter comes the cheering
news OF 90 better times coming" The
! Greensboro Patriot wakes thus eloquent Oh
the subject: " From the clOud-caped peaks
of Mt. Mitchell to the briny dashed shores
of old oceans deep, nay, from Maine to
| California, tie outlook for better times in
| the future grows brighter and more hope
! full every day From the gulf to the seas
! the Whitc-winged angel of peace comes
laden with the glad tidings of good crops
and a bountiful harvest"
Mr.. John NJ. Barnes, Henderson's old
| and reliable undertaken, has just ordered a
| large lot of new burial cases,---fne rose
wood collins, metallic, and zinc lined cases,
common and cloth covered collins, &c. Mr..
Barnes carries 4 good stock of such goods
and his charges are always reasonable. In
addition to his undertak ing business he
deals in furniture, and will always be
pleased to supply his friends as low as any
house can afford to sell same class of,goods.
When dealing with Mr.. Barnes you Can al
ways rely upon any statement he may
make to you.
Master Watkins Richards, son If our es-
! teemed tOWnsman Capt. V. j. Richards,
who has been clerk at the pOstOifice here
for some time, has gone to Raleigh toserye
as collector for one of the banks there, a
position secured for him by his uncle Capt
A. b. Andrews. Our best wishes attend
the young man. Master Samuel Young
succeeds to his place at the postOfIce
Sam is bright and intelligent little fell
low, quick and accommodating and will
make an efficient clerk, while the GOLD
LEAF is sure Watkins will discharge his
duties equally we'll and acceptabIy i'll his
new position.
On THE BREAKs.-The sales of tobacco
at our warehouses have been quite heavy
since the late rains. One Of the heaviest
breaks we have had in several weeks was
that of last Friday. Buyers and ware
| housemen were worked hard all day, the
sales running till late hour in the after
| noon. Prices were never more Satsfac-
tory. All grades are holding up we'll,
the cOmmOncr ones commanding double
what they did two months ago. Bright
stock which has sold at full prices all the
time has very materially advanced also.
| Farmers are in much better spirits, and
| buyers wear more cheerful faces than they
did a while back. Altogether the tone of
the market is strong and the present and
future outlook very encouraging.
